AP 5104 A - CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY - 2007 Spring

About This Course

Course Description

Clinical Psychology has three main goals.  The first is learning to use psychological principles in dealing with patients.  Crisis intervention, communication skills training, stress reduction and pain management are among the principles included.  The second goal of the course is the recognition of psycho-pathological conditions in order to help the intern with treatment planning and referral.  Thirdly, the intern will better understand the influence of the mind/thoughts/emotions on physical health.

Course Goals

In accordance with the mission of Parker College, to train primary health care providers, this course has three goals:

    1.  To help the DC in his/her relationships with patients and colleagues;
    2.  To help the DC learn to handle crisis situations and to know when to make appropriate referrals;
    3.  To help the DC to appreciate the complex interaction between the mind/emotions and physical health.

My goal is to make this course as helpful to you in your future practice as possible.  I welcome your suggestions
